There is 38 feeds dedicated to the coverage of the Olympics. Some people had trouble with it, but worked fine with me running Internet Explorer and windows Media Player 11. Apparently doesn't work with Firefox.

I know they have to show Aussie mainly events but that doesn’t explain a few of the following blunders made:
They gave coverage to almost 99 percent of the Olyroos vs. Argentina Soccer game yet ignored the cycling? I did do a bit of a check and the reason why the soccer was covered in full was the fact it kicked off around the time the afternoon events everywhere else had finished and prior to the evening events commencing so other than ignoring the cycling I suppose it is understandable.
C7 are greedy in terms of hanging onto all matches in team sports involving Australia instead of giving SBS those so we can watch the games in full live or at least delayed for those of us who like team sports.
C7 were sprouting for 24 hours about the Boomers first match and also the USA vs China Men’s Basketball matches being shown on Sunday evening. Last night C7 insulted all basketball lovers by spending ages at the bloody gymnastics – most of it on girls from other countries and finally went to the boomers game halfway through the 2nd quarter! It managed to show (in between adds) about 10 minutes of play in total spread between the 2nd and 4rd periods before putting up the final score!!!
I then stayed up to watch the USA vs China game and after showing the teams lining up for the anthems they managed to cram about 10 adds into a break meaning we missed the first 5 minutes of the game! Bearing in mind this match was live our time at 11.45 p.m. so either they (C7) thought that it was a rating winner and thousands would be watching it so they decided to maximise their advertisement dollars or they were taking the piss! Then after taking most of the coverage – they managed to at every time out or free throw to miss large chunks of the play because of ad breaks!
I was that angry I fired off an email this morning which amazingly enough got me a telephone call from the Sydney programming office to give me a cock and bull story to justify their deplorable coverage and to think we have only gone 2 days in total!
I bet things don’t improve!
